All those of you going to the Slipknot/Hatebreed show in Glasgow on the Unholy Alliance tour, do take note. Doors open at 5:30pm, earlier than usual, due to the 4-band bill and long sets. We have heard that some tickets have been printed with the WRONG time of 7pm on, and we don’t want you to miss some of the show! So, if you are going, or know someone going to the GLASGOW show, remember doors open at 5:30pm. Doors in other towns are 6pm.
CRADLE OF FILTH wish to apologise to all their fans in Ecuador for not making the show in Quito on Saturday. This was entirely out of the band’s control. “We regret if anybody was hurt and that full information was not passed on to the fans. “The band, due to a change in airline schedules, had embarked on a long and demanding day to reach Quito í¢äåäó leaving Mexico at 05.00 Saturday and taking three separate flights to get to Quito.Unfortunately when they tried to land in Quito they were told the runway had been closed for maintenance and although it should have reopened, it would not do so until at least 8.30pm so the plane was then diverted to Cali in Colombia. “On arrival in Cali they were then told there was no confirmed departure time to Quito, but it would be at least a few hours. “This meant by the time they flew to Quito, cleared customs, collected equipment, got to the venue and set up the equipment, it would have been some time in the early hours of the following day, before the show would be ready to happen. At this point a decision was made that it was not possible for the show to go ahead.”

After tearing up the 2nd Stage on this year’s most extreme Ozzfest, ETID kicks off the season with a 38-date US tour with Dillinger Escape Plan, Zao, and Misery Signals. Vocalist Keith Buckley explains í¢äåñA small club tour without Every Time I Die is like a triceratops without a cell phone.í¢äå ETID play hard, work harder, and party the Hardest! A year and a half has passed since their release of í¢äåñHot Damní¢äå on Ferret (July 2003 and the repackaged re-release with í¢äåñAt Home with Every Time I Die DVD (Feb 2004). ETID, being the successful standout band of Ozzfest as the only true hardcore act on the fest won over fans of the purely metal festival. Featured as one of the bands’s to watch in 2004 in both Spin Magazine and Alternative Press these folks have succeeded in spreading the good word to the masses. ETID have toured non-stop with band such as From Autumn to Ashes, Lamb of God, and metal’s cream of the crop, Slipknot, Hatebreed, Superjoint Ritual, Slayer etc. on Ozzfest 2004 . Now ETID will hit the road with Dillinger Escape Plan for a 38-date trek across the US. Andy Williams ETID guitar god sets us straight with this heartfelt emotion, í¢äåñ The whole show will be like one long burning fuse and when we hit the stage it is going to explode we are glad to be back on a club tour to play in front of people in a more intimate setting is more our style!í¢äå Breaking musical boundaries ETID have a fan base that crosses over to fans of varied music like wildfire. At an Every Time I Die show you will see the hardcore kids, the metal heads, screamo kids, and the party animals. Appealing to sixteen year old boys and girls as well as the old school hardcore and metal fans, ETID put on an aggressive, impulsive show. Visually over the top, their performance is utter chaos. ETID along with Dillinger Escape Plan’s performance will leave the audience in awe of their pure power and high energy. Keith Buckley also muses, í¢äåñSeeing Every Time I Die in an intimate club setting is like finding a supermodel in your shower you’re not certain whether or not it deserves to be there, but you’re sure as fuck glad it is.í¢äå The Daily Herald in Arlington Heights, IL says, í¢äåñThat sound fused with furious hardcore and even Hives-style garage punk swagger.í¢äå This may be the last chance to see ETID before they head into the studio to work on their sophomore release on Ferret, don’t miss it!
